37308c929b [PR #8510/21b16c1c backport][stable-9] Update VirtualBox Group parsing to align with documentation. (#8621) 
Update VirtualBox Group parsing to align with documentation. (#8510)

* Update VirtualBox Group parsing to align with documentation.

Previously, we could separate the group string on the `/` char and
consider each element to be distinct, top-level groups. This change
implements the notion of nested groups and the use of the `,` char to
split multiple groups.

* Address code review comments.

Changed the implementation from a breaking change to a minor change by
introducing a new parameter to configure the behaviour. Keep the default
values to maintain the existing behaviour, and allow consumers an option
to opt-in.

* Fix line length.

The long lines were tripping CI. Reduce the length.

* Apply suggestions from code review

Update documentation to match expected conventions and correct the final rendered formatting.
Set the initial parent_group to `None` instead of `all` and rely on the parent class' inventory reconciliation logic to ensure consistent behaviour across different inventory plugins.

Co-authored-by: Felix Fontein <felix@fontein.de>

* Reword module arg description to avoid issues with CI.

One of the lines ended with a colon character which made the CI tests
fail since it would interpret it as a YAML key. Reworded the description
altogether to avoid that issue.

* Apply suggestions from code review

merge_variables: correct misleading short description (#8580)

The short description makes it sound like the plugin would only support
matching a given suffix, while the actual description clarifies the
actual matching capabilities (suffix, prefix or regular expression).

Update the short description accordingly.

* btrfs\_subvolume \- refactor module to pass list of arguments to <code>module\.run\_command\(\)</code> instead of relying on interpretation by a shell \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8264](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8264)\)\.

* consul\_role \- <code>node\_identities</code> now expects a <code>node\_name</code> option to match the Consul API\, the old <code>name</code> is still supported as alias \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7878](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7878)\)\.

* ModuleHelper module\_utils \- deprecate <code>plugins\.module\_utils\.module\_helper\.VarsMixin</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8280](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8280)\)\.
* ModuleHelper module\_utils \- deprecate use of <code>VarsMixin</code> in favor of using the <code>VardDict</code> module\_utils \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8226](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8226)\)\.
* ModuleHelper vars module\_utils \- bump deprecation of <code>VarMeta</code>\, <code>VarDict</code> and <code>VarsMixin</code> to version 11\.0\.0 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8226](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8226)\)\.
* apt\_rpm \- the behavior of <code>state\=present</code> and <code>state\=installed</code> is deprecated and will change in community\.general 11\.0\.0\. Right now the module will upgrade a package to the latest version if one of these two states is used\. You should explicitly use <code>state\=latest</code> if you want this behavior\, and switch to <code>state\=present\_not\_latest</code> if you do not want to upgrade the package if it is already installed\. In community\.general 11\.0\.0 the behavior of <code>state\=present</code> and <code>state\=installed</code> will change to that of <code>state\=present\_not\_latest</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8217](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8217)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8285](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8285)\)\.

The callback plugin is therefore deprecated and will be removed from community\.general 10\.0\.0 if nobody provides compelling reasons to still keep it \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8184](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8184)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8189](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8189)\)\.
* irc \- the defaults <code>false</code> for <code>use\_tls</code> and <code>validate\_certs</code> have been deprecated and will change to <code>true</code> in community\.general 10\.0\.0 to improve security\. You can already improve security now by explicitly setting them to <code>true</code>\. Specifying values now disables the deprecation warning \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7578](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7578)\)\.
<a id="removed-features-previously-deprecated"></a>
### Removed Features \(previously deprecated\)
* The deprecated redirects for internal module names have been removed\. These internal redirects were extra\-long FQCNs like <code>community\.general\.packaging\.os\.apt\_rpm</code> that redirect to the short FQCN <code>community\.general\.apt\_rpm</code>\. They were originally needed to implement flatmapping\; as various tooling started to recommend users to use the long names flatmapping was removed from the collection and redirects were added for users who already followed these incorrect recommendations \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7835](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7835)\)\.
* ansible\_galaxy\_install \- the <code>ack\_ansible29</code> and <code>ack\_min\_ansiblecore211</code> options have been removed\.

Use <code>clearsessions</code>\, <code>migrate</code>\, and <code>check</code> instead\, respectively \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8198](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8198)\)\.
* flowdock \- this module relied on HTTPS APIs that do not exist anymore and was thus removed \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8198](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8198)\)\.
* mh\.mixins\.deps module utils \- the <code>DependencyMixin</code> has been removed\. Use the <code>deps</code> module utils instead \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8198](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8198)\)\.
* proxmox \- the <code>proxmox\_default\_behavior</code> option has been removed \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8198](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8198)\)\.
* rax\* modules\, rax module utils\, rax docs fragment \- the Rackspace modules relied on the deprecated package <code>pyrax</code> and were thus removed \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8198](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8198)\)\.
* redhat module utils \- the classes <code>Rhsm</code>\, <code>RhsmPool</code>\, and <code>RhsmPools</code> have been removed \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8198](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8198)\)\.

* stackdriver \- this module relied on HTTPS APIs that do not exist anymore and was thus removed \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8198](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8198)\)\.
* webfaction\_\* modules \- these modules relied on HTTPS APIs that do not exist anymore and were thus removed \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8198](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8198)\)\.

### Security Fixes
* cobbler\, gitlab\_runners\, icinga2\, linode\, lxd\, nmap\, online\, opennebula\, proxmox\, scaleway\, stackpath\_compute\, virtualbox\, and xen\_orchestra inventory plugin \- make sure all data received from the remote servers is marked as unsafe\, so remote code execution by obtaining texts that can be evaluated as templates is not possible \([https\://www\.die\-welt\.net/2024/03/remote\-code\-execution\-in\-ansible\-dynamic\-inventory\-plugins/](https\://www\.die\-welt\.net/2024/03/remote\-code\-execution\-in\-ansible\-dynamic\-inventory\-plugins/)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8098](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8098)\)\.
* keycloak\_identity\_provider \- the client secret was not correctly sanitized by the module\. The return values <code>proposed</code>\, <code>existing</code>\, and <code>end\_state</code>\, as well as the diff\, did contain the client secret unmasked \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8355](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8355)\)\.
<a id="bugfixes-3"></a>
### Bugfixes

* aix\_filesystem \- fix issue with empty list items in crfs logic and option order \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8052](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8052)\)\.
* apt\-rpm \- the module did not upgrade packages if a newer version exists\. Now the package will be reinstalled if the candidate is newer than the installed version \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7414](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7414)\)\.
* apt\_rpm \- when checking whether packages were installed after running <code>apt\-get \-y install \<packages\></code>\, only the last package name was checked \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8263](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8263)\)\.
* bitwarden\_secrets\_manager lookup plugin \- implements retry with exponential backoff to avoid lookup errors when Bitwardn\'s API rate limiting is encountered \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8230](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8230)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8238](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8238)\)\.
* cargo \- fix idempotency issues when using a custom installation path for packages \(using the <code>\-\-path</code> parameter\)\. The initial installation runs fine\, but subsequent runs use the <code>get\_installed\(\)</code> function which did not check the given installation location\, before running <code>cargo install</code>\. This resulted in a false <code>changed</code> state\. Also the removal of packeges using <code>state\: absent</code> failed\, as the installation check did not use the given parameter \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7970](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7970)\)\.
* cloudflare\_dns \- fix Cloudflare lookup of SHFP records \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7652](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7652)\)\.

* haproxy \- fix an issue where HAProxy could get stuck in DRAIN mode when the backend was unreachable \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8092](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8092)\)\.
* homebrew \- detect already installed formulae and casks using JSON output from <code>brew info</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/864](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/864)\)\.
* homebrew \- error returned from brew command was ignored and tried to parse empty JSON\. Fix now checks for an error and raises it to give accurate error message to users \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8047](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8047)\)\.
* incus connection plugin \- treats <code>inventory\_hostname</code> as a variable instead of a literal in remote connections \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7874](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7874)\)\.
* interface\_files \- also consider <code>address\_family</code> when changing <code>option\=method</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7610](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7610)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7612](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7612)\)\.
* inventory plugins \- add unsafe wrapper to avoid marking strings that do not contain <code>\{</code> or <code>\}</code> as unsafe\, to work around a bug in AWX \(\([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8212](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8212)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8225](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8225)\)\.
* ipa \- fix get version regex in IPA module\_utils \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8175](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8175)\)\.
* ipa\_hbacrule \- the module uses a string for <code>ipaenabledflag</code> for new FreeIPA versions while the returned value is a boolean \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7880](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7880)\)\.
* ipa\_otptoken \- the module expect <code>ipatokendisabled</code> as string but the <code>ipatokendisabled</code> value is returned as a boolean \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7795](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7795)\)\.
* ipa\_sudorule \- the module uses a string for <code>ipaenabledflag</code> for new FreeIPA versions while the returned value is a boolean \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7880](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7880)\)\.

* keycloak\_\* \- fix Keycloak API client to quote <code>/</code> properly \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7641](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7641)\)\.
* keycloak\_authz\_permission \- resource payload variable for scope\-based permission was constructed as a string\, when it needs to be a list\, even for a single item \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7151](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7151)\)\.
* keycloak\_client \- add sorted <code>defaultClientScopes</code> and <code>optionalClientScopes</code> to normalizations \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8223](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8223)\)\.

* keycloak\_identity\_provider \- <code>mappers</code> processing was not idempotent if the mappers configuration list had not been sorted by name \(in ascending order\)\. Fix resolves the issue by sorting mappers in the desired state using the same key which is used for obtaining existing state \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7418](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7418)\)\.
* keycloak\_identity\_provider \- it was not possible to reconfigure \(add\, remove\) <code>mappers</code> once they were created initially\. Removal was ignored\, adding new ones resulted in dropping the pre\-existing unmodified mappers\. Fix resolves the issue by supplying correct input to the internal update call \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7418](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7418)\)\.
* keycloak\_realm \- add normalizations for <code>enabledEventTypes</code> and <code>supportedLocales</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8224](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8224)\)\.

* ldap \- previously the order number \(if present\) was expected to follow an equals sign in the DN\. This makes it so the order number string is identified correctly anywhere within the DN \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7646](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7646)\)\.
* linode inventory plugin \- add descriptive error message for linode inventory plugin \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8133](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8133)\)\.

* modprobe \- listing modules files or modprobe files could trigger a FileNotFoundError if <code>/etc/modprobe\.d</code> or <code>/etc/modules\-load\.d</code> did not exist\. Relevant functions now return empty lists if the directories do not exist to avoid crashing the module \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7717](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7717)\)\.
* mssql\_script \- make the module work with Python 2 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7818](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7818)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7821](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7821)\)\.

* onepassword lookup plugin \- failed for fields that were in sections and had uppercase letters in the label/ID\. Field lookups are now case insensitive in all cases \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7919](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7919)\)\.
* onepassword lookup plugin \- field and section titles are now case insensitive when using op CLI version two or later\. This matches the behavior of version one \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7564](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7564)\)\.
* opentelemetry callback plugin \- close spans always \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8367](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8367)\)\.
* opentelemetry callback plugin \- honour the <code>disable\_logs</code> option to avoid storing task results since they are not used regardless \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8373](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8373)\)\.
* pacemaker\_cluster \- actually implement check mode\, which the module claims to support\.

v9.0.0
======
Release Summary
---------------
This is release 9.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on 2024-05-20.
Minor Changes
-------------
- PythonRunner module utils - specialisation of ``CmdRunner`` to execute Python scripts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8289).
- Use offset-aware ``datetime.datetime`` objects (with timezone UTC) instead of offset-naive UTC timestamps, which are deprecated in Python 3.12 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8222).
- aix_lvol - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()`` instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264).
- apt_rpm - add new states ``latest`` and ``present_not_latest``. The value ``latest`` is equivalent to the current behavior of ``present``, which will upgrade a package if a newer version exists. ``present_not_latest`` does what most users would expect ``present`` to do: it does not upgrade if the package is already installed. The current behavior of ``present`` will be deprecated in a later version, and eventually changed to that of ``present_not_latest`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8217, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8247).
- apt_rpm - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()`` instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264).
- bitwarden lookup plugin - add ``bw_session`` option, to pass session key instead of reading from env (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7994).
- bitwarden lookup plugin - add support to filter by organization ID (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8188).
- bitwarden lookup plugin - allows to fetch all records of a given collection ID, by allowing to pass an empty value for ``search_value`` when ``collection_id`` is provided (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8013).
- bitwarden lookup plugin - when looking for items using an item ID, the item is now accessed directly with ``bw get item`` instead of searching through all items. This doubles the lookup speed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7468).
- btrfs_subvolume - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()`` instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264).
- cmd_runner module_utils - add validation for minimum and maximum length in the value passed to ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_list()`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8288).
- consul_auth_method, consul_binding_rule, consul_policy, consul_role, consul_session, consul_token - added action group ``community.general.consul`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7897).
- consul_policy - added support for diff and check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- consul_policy, consul_role, consul_session - removed dependency on ``requests`` and factored out common parts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7826, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- consul_role - ``node_identities`` now expects a ``node_name`` option to match the Consul API, the old ``name`` is still supported as alias (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- consul_role - ``service_identities`` now expects a ``service_name`` option to match the Consul API, the old ``name`` is still supported as alias (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- consul_role - added support for diff mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- consul_role - added support for templated policies (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- elastic callback plugin - close elastic client to not leak resources (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7517).
- filesystem - add bcachefs support (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8126).
- gandi_livedns - adds support for personal access tokens (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7639, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8337).
- gconftool2 - use ``ModuleHelper`` with ``VarDict`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8226).
- git_config - allow multiple git configs for the same name with the new ``add_mode`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7260).
- git_config - the ``after`` and ``before`` fields in the ``diff`` of the return value can be a list instead of a string in case more configs with the same key are affected (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7260).
- git_config - when a value is unset, all configs with the same key are unset (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7260).
- gitlab modules - add ``ca_path`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7472).
- gitlab modules - remove duplicate ``gitlab`` package check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7486).
- gitlab_deploy_key, gitlab_group_members, gitlab_group_variable, gitlab_hook, gitlab_instance_variable, gitlab_project_badge, gitlab_project_variable, gitlab_user - improve API pagination and compatibility with different versions of ``python-gitlab`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7790).

- gitlab_runner - add support for new runner creation workflow (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7199).
- homebrew - adds ``force_formula`` parameter to disambiguate a formula from a cask of the same name (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8274).
- homebrew, homebrew_cask - refactor common argument validation logic into a dedicated ``homebrew`` module utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8323, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8324).
- icinga2 inventory plugin - add Jinja2 templating support to ``url``, ``user``, and ``password`` paramenters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7074, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7996).
- icinga2 inventory plugin - adds new parameter ``group_by_hostgroups`` in order to make grouping by Icinga2 hostgroups optional (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7998).
- ini_file - add an optional parameter ``section_has_values``. If the target ini file contains more than one ``section``, use ``section_has_values`` to specify which one should be updated (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7505).
- ini_file - support optional spaces between section names and their surrounding brackets (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8075).

Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
--------------------------------
- cpanm - the default of the ``mode`` option changed from ``compatibility`` to ``new`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- django_manage - the module now requires Django >= 4.1 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- django_manage - the module will now fail if ``virtualenv`` is specified but no virtual environment exists at that location (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- redfish_command, redfish_config, redfish_info - change the default for ``timeout`` from 10 to 60 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
Deprecated Features
-------------------
- MH DependencyCtxMgr module_utils - deprecate ``module_utils.mh.mixin.deps.DependencyCtxMgr`` in favour of ``module_utils.deps`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.AnsibleModule`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.DependencyCtxMgr`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.StateMixin`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.VarDict,`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.VarMeta`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.VarsMixin`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate use of ``VarsMixin`` in favor of using the ``VardDict`` module_utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8226).
- ModuleHelper vars module_utils - bump deprecation of ``VarMeta``, ``VarDict`` and ``VarsMixin`` to version 11.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8226).
- apt_rpm - the behavior of ``state=present`` and ``state=installed`` is deprecated and will change in community.general 11.0.0. Right now the module will upgrade a package to the latest version if one of these two states is used. You should explicitly use ``state=latest`` if you want this behavior, and switch to ``state=present_not_latest`` if you do not want to upgrade the package if it is already installed. In community.general 11.0.0 the behavior of ``state=present`` and ``state=installed`` will change to that of ``state=present_not_latest`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8217, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8285).
- consul_acl - the module has been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 10.0.0. ``consul_token`` and ``consul_policy`` can be used instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7901).
- django_manage - the ``ack_venv_creation_deprecation`` option has no more effect and will be removed from community.general 11.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- gitlab modules - the basic auth method on GitLab API have been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 10.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8383).
- hipchat callback plugin - the hipchat service has been discontinued and the self-hosted variant has been End of Life since 2020. The callback plugin is therefore deprecated and will be removed from community.general 10.0.0 if nobody provides compelling reasons to still keep it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8184, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8189).
- irc - the defaults ``false`` for ``use_tls`` and ``validate_certs`` have been deprecated and will change to ``true`` in community.general 10.0.0 to improve security. You can already improve security now by explicitly setting them to ``true``. Specifying values now disables the deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7578).
Removed Features (previously deprecated)
----------------------------------------
- The deprecated redirects for internal module names have been removed. These internal redirects were extra-long FQCNs like ``community.general.packaging.os.apt_rpm`` that redirect to the short FQCN ``community.general.apt_rpm``. They were originally needed to implement flatmapping; as various tooling started to recommend users to use the long names flatmapping was removed from the collection and redirects were added for users who already followed these incorrect recommendations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7835).
- ansible_galaxy_install - the ``ack_ansible29`` and ``ack_min_ansiblecore211`` options have been removed. They no longer had any effect (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- cloudflare_dns - remove support for SPF records. These are no longer supported by CloudFlare (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7782).
- django_manage - support for the ``command`` values ``cleanup``, ``syncdb``, and ``validate`` were removed. Use ``clearsessions``, ``migrate``, and ``check`` instead, respectively (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- flowdock - this module relied on HTTPS APIs that do not exist anymore and was thus removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- mh.mixins.deps module utils - the ``DependencyMixin`` has been removed. Use the ``deps`` module utils instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- proxmox - the ``proxmox_default_behavior`` option has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- rax* modules, rax module utils, rax docs fragment - the Rackspace modules relied on the deprecated package ``pyrax`` and were thus removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- redhat module utils - the classes ``Rhsm``, ``RhsmPool``, and ``RhsmPools`` have been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- redhat_subscription - the alias ``autosubscribe`` of the ``auto_attach`` option was removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- stackdriver - this module relied on HTTPS APIs that do not exist anymore and was thus removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- webfaction_* modules - these modules relied on HTTPS APIs that do not exist anymore and were thus removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
Security Fixes
--------------
- cobbler, gitlab_runners, icinga2, linode, lxd, nmap, online, opennebula, proxmox, scaleway, stackpath_compute, virtualbox, and xen_orchestra inventory plugin - make sure all data received from the remote servers is marked as unsafe, so remote code execution by obtaining texts that can be evaluated as templates is not possible (https://www.die-welt.net/2024/03/remote-code-execution-in-ansible-dynamic-inventory-plugins/, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8098).
- keycloak_identity_provider - the client secret was not correctly sanitized by the module. The return values ``proposed``, ``existing``, and ``end_state``, as well as the diff, did contain the client secret unmasked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8355).
Bugfixes
--------
- aix_filesystem - fix ``_validate_vg`` not passing VG name to ``lsvg_cmd`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8151).
- aix_filesystem - fix issue with empty list items in crfs logic and option order (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8052).
- apt-rpm - the module did not upgrade packages if a newer version exists. Now the package will be reinstalled if the candidate is newer than the installed version (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7414).
- apt_rpm - when checking whether packages were installed after running ``apt-get -y install <packages>``, only the last package name was checked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8263).
- bitwarden_secrets_manager lookup plugin - implements retry with exponential backoff to avoid lookup errors when Bitwardn's API rate limiting is encountered (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8230, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8238).
- cargo - fix idempotency issues when using a custom installation path for packages (using the ``--path`` parameter). The initial installation runs fine, but subsequent runs use the ``get_installed()`` function which did not check the given installation location, before running ``cargo install``. This resulted in a false ``changed`` state. Also the removal of packeges using ``state: absent`` failed, as the installation check did not use the given parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7970).
- cloudflare_dns - fix Cloudflare lookup of SHFP records (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7652).
- consul_token - fix token creation without ``accessor_id`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8091).

- gitlab_user - fix gitlab constants call in ``gitlab_user`` module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7467).
- haproxy - fix an issue where HAProxy could get stuck in DRAIN mode when the backend was unreachable (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8092).
- homebrew - detect already installed formulae and casks using JSON output from ``brew info`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/864).
- homebrew - error returned from brew command was ignored and tried to parse empty JSON. Fix now checks for an error and raises it to give accurate error message to users (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8047).
- incus connection plugin - treats ``inventory_hostname`` as a variable instead of a literal in remote connections (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7874).
- interface_files - also consider ``address_family`` when changing ``option=method`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7610, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7612).
- inventory plugins - add unsafe wrapper to avoid marking strings that do not contain ``{`` or ``}`` as unsafe, to work around a bug in AWX ((https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8212, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8225).
- ipa - fix get version regex in IPA module_utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8175).
- ipa_hbacrule - the module uses a string for ``ipaenabledflag`` for new FreeIPA versions while the returned value is a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7880).
- ipa_otptoken - the module expect ``ipatokendisabled`` as string but the ``ipatokendisabled`` value is returned as a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7795).
- ipa_sudorule - the module uses a string for ``ipaenabledflag`` for new FreeIPA versions while the returned value is a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7880).
- iptables_state - fix idempotency issues when restoring incomplete iptables dumps (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8029).
- irc - replace ``ssl.wrap_socket`` that was removed from Python 3.12 with code for creating a proper SSL context (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7542).
- keycloak_* - fix Keycloak API client to quote ``/`` properly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7641).

- keycloak_client - add sorted ``defaultClientScopes`` and ``optionalClientScopes`` to normalizations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8223).
- keycloak_client - fixes issue when metadata is provided in desired state when task is in check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1226, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7881).
- keycloak_identity_provider - ``mappers`` processing was not idempotent if the mappers configuration list had not been sorted by name (in ascending order). Fix resolves the issue by sorting mappers in the desired state using the same key which is used for obtaining existing state (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7418).
- keycloak_identity_provider - it was not possible to reconfigure (add, remove) ``mappers`` once they were created initially. Removal was ignored, adding new ones resulted in dropping the pre-existing unmodified mappers. Fix resolves the issue by supplying correct input to the internal update call (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7418).
- keycloak_realm - add normalizations for ``enabledEventTypes`` and ``supportedLocales`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8224).
- keycloak_user - when ``force`` is set, but user does not exist, do not try to delete it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7696).
- keycloak_user_federation - fix diff of empty ``krbPrincipalAttribute`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8320).
- ldap - previously the order number (if present) was expected to follow an equals sign in the DN. This makes it so the order number string is identified correctly anywhere within the DN (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7646).
- linode inventory plugin - add descriptive error message for linode inventory plugin (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8133).

- proxmox_pool_member - absent state for type VM did not delete VMs from the pools (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7464).
- puppet - add option ``environment_lang`` to set the environment language encoding. Defaults to lang ``C``. It is recommended to set it to ``C.UTF-8`` or ``en_US.UTF-8`` depending on what is available on your system. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8000)
- redfish_command - fix usage of message parsing in ``SimpleUpdate`` and ``MultipartHTTPPushUpdate`` commands to treat the lack of a ``MessageId`` as no message (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7465, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7471).

releases:
9.0.0:
changes:
breaking_changes:
- cpanm - the default of the ``mode`` option changed from ``compatibility``
to ``new`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- django_manage - the module now requires Django >= 4.1 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- django_manage - the module will now fail if ``virtualenv`` is specified
but no virtual environment exists at that location (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- redfish_command, redfish_config, redfish_info - change the default for ``timeout``
from 10 to 60 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
bugfixes:
- aix_filesystem - fix ``_validate_vg`` not passing VG name to ``lsvg_cmd``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8151).
- aix_filesystem - fix issue with empty list items in crfs logic and option
order (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8052).
- apt-rpm - the module did not upgrade packages if a newer version exists.
Now the package will be reinstalled if the candidate is newer than the installed
version (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7414).
- apt_rpm - when checking whether packages were installed after running ``apt-get
-y install <packages>``, only the last package name was checked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8263).
- bitwarden_secrets_manager lookup plugin - implements retry with exponential
backoff to avoid lookup errors when Bitwardn's API rate limiting is encountered
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8230, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8238).
- 'cargo - fix idempotency issues when using a custom installation path for
packages (using the ``--path`` parameter). The initial installation runs
fine, but subsequent runs use the ``get_installed()`` function which did
not check the given installation location, before running ``cargo install``.
This resulted in a false ``changed`` state. Also the removal of packeges
using ``state: absent`` failed, as the installation check did not use the
given parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7970).'
- cloudflare_dns - fix Cloudflare lookup of SHFP records (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7652).
- consul_token - fix token creation without ``accessor_id`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8091).
- from_ini filter plugin - disabling interpolation of ``ConfigParser`` to
allow converting values with a ``%`` sign (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8183,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8185).
- gitlab_group_members - fix gitlab constants call in ``gitlab_group_members``
module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7467).
- gitlab_issue - fix behavior to search GitLab issue, using ``search`` keyword
instead of ``title`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7846).
- gitlab_issue, gitlab_label, gitlab_milestone - avoid crash during version
comparison when the python-gitlab Python module is not installed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8158).
- gitlab_project_members - fix gitlab constants call in ``gitlab_project_members``
module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7467).
- gitlab_protected_branches - fix gitlab constants call in ``gitlab_protected_branches``
module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7467).
- gitlab_runner - fix pagination when checking for existing runners (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7790).
- gitlab_user - fix gitlab constants call in ``gitlab_user`` module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7467).
- haproxy - fix an issue where HAProxy could get stuck in DRAIN mode when
the backend was unreachable (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8092).
- homebrew - detect already installed formulae and casks using JSON output
from ``brew info`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/864).
- homebrew - error returned from brew command was ignored and tried to parse
empty JSON. Fix now checks for an error and raises it to give accurate error
message to users (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8047).
- incus connection plugin - treats ``inventory_hostname`` as a variable instead
of a literal in remote connections (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7874).
- interface_files - also consider ``address_family`` when changing ``option=method``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7610, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7612).
- inventory plugins - add unsafe wrapper to avoid marking strings that do
not contain ``{`` or ``}`` as unsafe, to work around a bug in AWX ((https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8212,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8225).
- ipa - fix get version regex in IPA module_utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8175).
- ipa_hbacrule - the module uses a string for ``ipaenabledflag`` for new FreeIPA
versions while the returned value is a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7880).
- ipa_otptoken - the module expect ``ipatokendisabled`` as string but the
``ipatokendisabled`` value is returned as a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7795).
- ipa_sudorule - the module uses a string for ``ipaenabledflag`` for new FreeIPA
versions while the returned value is a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7880).
- iptables_state - fix idempotency issues when restoring incomplete iptables
dumps (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8029).
- irc - replace ``ssl.wrap_socket`` that was removed from Python 3.12 with
code for creating a proper SSL context (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7542).
- keycloak_* - fix Keycloak API client to quote ``/`` properly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7641).
- keycloak_authz_permission - resource payload variable for scope-based permission
was constructed as a string, when it needs to be a list, even for a single
item (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7151).
- keycloak_client - add sorted ``defaultClientScopes`` and ``optionalClientScopes``
to normalizations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8223).
- keycloak_client - fixes issue when metadata is provided in desired state
when task is in check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1226,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7881).
- keycloak_identity_provider - ``mappers`` processing was not idempotent if
the mappers configuration list had not been sorted by name (in ascending
order). Fix resolves the issue by sorting mappers in the desired state using
the same key which is used for obtaining existing state (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7418).
- keycloak_identity_provider - it was not possible to reconfigure (add, remove)
``mappers`` once they were created initially. Removal was ignored, adding
new ones resulted in dropping the pre-existing unmodified mappers. Fix resolves
the issue by supplying correct input to the internal update call (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7418).
- keycloak_realm - add normalizations for ``enabledEventTypes`` and ``supportedLocales``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8224).
- keycloak_user - when ``force`` is set, but user does not exist, do not try
to delete it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7696).
- keycloak_user_federation - fix diff of empty ``krbPrincipalAttribute`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8320).
- ldap - previously the order number (if present) was expected to follow an
equals sign in the DN. This makes it so the order number string is identified
correctly anywhere within the DN (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7646).
- linode inventory plugin - add descriptive error message for linode inventory
plugin (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8133).
- log_entries callback plugin - replace ``ssl.wrap_socket`` that was removed
from Python 3.12 with code for creating a proper SSL context (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7542).

https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7182).
- 'merge_variables lookup plugin - fixing cross host merge: providing access
to foreign hosts variables to the perspective of the host that is performing
the merge (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8303).'
- modprobe - listing modules files or modprobe files could trigger a FileNotFoundError
if ``/etc/modprobe.d`` or ``/etc/modules-load.d`` did not exist. Relevant
functions now return empty lists if the directories do not exist to avoid
crashing the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7717).
- mssql_script - make the module work with Python 2 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7818,

had uppercase letters in the label/ID. Field lookups are now case insensitive
in all cases (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7919).
- onepassword lookup plugin - field and section titles are now case insensitive

storing task results since they are not used regardless (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8373).
- pacemaker_cluster - actually implement check mode, which the module claims
to support. This means that until now the module also did changes in check
mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8081).

- MH DependencyCtxMgr module_utils - deprecate ``module_utils.mh.mixin.deps.DependencyCtxMgr``
in favour of ``module_utils.deps`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.AnsibleModule``

- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.VarsMixin``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate use of ``VarsMixin`` in favor of using
the ``VardDict`` module_utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8226).
- ModuleHelper vars module_utils - bump deprecation of ``VarMeta``, ``VarDict``
and ``VarsMixin`` to version 11.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8226).
- apt_rpm - the behavior of ``state=present`` and ``state=installed`` is deprecated
and will change in community.general 11.0.0. Right now the module will upgrade
a package to the latest version if one of these two states is used. You
should explicitly use ``state=latest`` if you want this behavior, and switch
to ``state=present_not_latest`` if you do not want to upgrade the package
if it is already installed. In community.general 11.0.0 the behavior of
``state=present`` and ``state=installed`` will change to that of ``state=present_not_latest``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8217, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8285).
- consul_acl - the module has been deprecated and will be removed in community.general
10.0.0. ``consul_token`` and ``consul_policy`` can be used instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7901).
- django_manage - the ``ack_venv_creation_deprecation`` option has no more
effect and will be removed from community.general 11.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- gitlab modules - the basic auth method on GitLab API have been deprecated
and will be removed in community.general 10.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8383).
- hipchat callback plugin - the hipchat service has been discontinued and
the self-hosted variant has been End of Life since 2020. The callback plugin
is therefore deprecated and will be removed from community.general 10.0.0
if nobody provides compelling reasons to still keep it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8184,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8189).
- irc - the defaults ``false`` for ``use_tls`` and ``validate_certs`` have
been deprecated and will change to ``true`` in community.general 10.0.0
to improve security. You can already improve security now by explicitly
setting them to ``true``. Specifying values now disables the deprecation
warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7578).
minor_changes:
- PythonRunner module utils - specialisation of ``CmdRunner`` to execute Python
scripts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8289).
- Use offset-aware ``datetime.datetime`` objects (with timezone UTC) instead
of offset-naive UTC timestamps, which are deprecated in Python 3.12 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8222).
- aix_lvol - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()``
instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264).
- 'apt_rpm - add new states ``latest`` and ``present_not_latest``. The value
``latest`` is equivalent to the current behavior of ``present``, which will
upgrade a package if a newer version exists. ``present_not_latest`` does
what most users would expect ``present`` to do: it does not upgrade if the
package is already installed. The current behavior of ``present`` will be
deprecated in a later version, and eventually changed to that of ``present_not_latest``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8217, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8247).'
- apt_rpm - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()``
instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264).
- bitwarden lookup plugin - add ``bw_session`` option, to pass session key
instead of reading from env (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7994).
- bitwarden lookup plugin - add support to filter by organization ID (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8188).
- bitwarden lookup plugin - allows to fetch all records of a given collection
ID, by allowing to pass an empty value for ``search_value`` when ``collection_id``
is provided (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8013).
- bitwarden lookup plugin - when looking for items using an item ID, the item
is now accessed directly with ``bw get item`` instead of searching through
all items. This doubles the lookup speed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7468).
- btrfs_subvolume - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()``
instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264).

and factored out common parts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7826,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).

match the Consul API, the old ``name`` is still supported as alias (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- consul_role - ``service_identities`` now expects a ``service_name`` option
to match the Consul API, the old ``name`` is still supported as alias (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- consul_role - added support for diff mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- consul_role - added support for templated policies (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).

return value can be a list instead of a string in case more configs with
the same key are affected (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7260).
- git_config - when a value is unset, all configs with the same key are unset
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7260).

order to make grouping by Icinga2 hostgroups optional (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7998).
- ini_file - add an optional parameter ``section_has_values``. If the target
ini file contains more than one ``section``, use ``section_has_values``
to specify which one should be updated (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7505).

while keeping ``use_ssl`` as an alias. The default value for ``validate_certs``
is ``false`` for backwards compatibility. We recommend to every user of
this module to explicitly set ``use_tls=true`` and `validate_certs=true``
whenever possible, especially when communicating to IRC servers over the
internet (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7550).

release_summary: This is release 9.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on
2024-05-20.
removed_features:
- The deprecated redirects for internal module names have been removed. These
internal redirects were extra-long FQCNs like ``community.general.packaging.os.apt_rpm``
that redirect to the short FQCN ``community.general.apt_rpm``. They were
originally needed to implement flatmapping; as various tooling started to
recommend users to use the long names flatmapping was removed from the collection
and redirects were added for users who already followed these incorrect
recommendations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7835).
- ansible_galaxy_install - the ``ack_ansible29`` and ``ack_min_ansiblecore211``
options have been removed. They no longer had any effect (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- cloudflare_dns - remove support for SPF records. These are no longer supported
by CloudFlare (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7782).
- django_manage - support for the ``command`` values ``cleanup``, ``syncdb``,
and ``validate`` were removed. Use ``clearsessions``, ``migrate``, and ``check``
instead, respectively (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- flowdock - this module relied on HTTPS APIs that do not exist anymore and
was thus removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- mh.mixins.deps module utils - the ``DependencyMixin`` has been removed.
Use the ``deps`` module utils instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- proxmox - the ``proxmox_default_behavior`` option has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- rax* modules, rax module utils, rax docs fragment - the Rackspace modules
relied on the deprecated package ``pyrax`` and were thus removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- redhat module utils - the classes ``Rhsm``, ``RhsmPool``, and ``RhsmPools``
have been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- redhat_subscription - the alias ``autosubscribe`` of the ``auto_attach``
option was removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- stackdriver - this module relied on HTTPS APIs that do not exist anymore
and was thus removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- webfaction_* modules - these modules relied on HTTPS APIs that do not exist
anymore and were thus removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
security_fixes:
- cobbler, gitlab_runners, icinga2, linode, lxd, nmap, online, opennebula,
proxmox, scaleway, stackpath_compute, virtualbox, and xen_orchestra inventory
plugin - make sure all data received from the remote servers is marked as
unsafe, so remote code execution by obtaining texts that can be evaluated
as templates is not possible (https://www.die-welt.net/2024/03/remote-code-execution-in-ansible-dynamic-inventory-plugins/,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8098).
- keycloak_identity_provider - the client secret was not correctly sanitized
by the module. The return values ``proposed``, ``existing``, and ``end_state``,
as well as the diff, did contain the client secret unmasked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8355).

release_date: '2024-05-27'
9.1.0:
changes:
bugfixes:
- git_config - fix behavior of ``state=absent`` if ``value`` is present (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8436,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8452).
- keycloak_realm - add normalizations for ``attributes`` and ``protocol_mappers``

- launched - correctly report changed status in check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8406).
- opennebula inventory plugin - fix invalid reference to IP when inventory
runs against NICs with no IPv4 address (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8489).

module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8430).
- opentelemetry callback - do not save the content response when using the
``ansible.builtin.slurp`` module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8430).
- paman - do not fail if an empty list of packages has been provided and there
is nothing to do (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8514).
deprecated_features:
- CmdRunner module util - setting the value of the ``ignore_none`` parameter
within a ``CmdRunner`` context is deprecated and that feature should be
removed in community.general 12.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8479).
- git_config - the ``list_all`` option has been deprecated and will be removed

module instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8453).
- git_config - using ``state=present`` without providing ``value`` is deprecated
and will be disallowed in community.general 11.0.0. Use the ``community.general.git_config_info``
module instead to read a value (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8453).
known_issues:
- homectl - the module does not work under Python 3.13 or newer, since it
relies on the removed ``crypt`` standard library module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4691,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8497).
- udm_user - the module does not work under Python 3.13 or newer, since it

bugfixes:
- keycloak_identity_provider - it was not possible to reconfigure (add, remove) ``mappers`` once they were created initially.

Fix resolves the issue by supplying correct input to the internal update call (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7418).
- keycloak_identity_provider - ``mappers`` processing was not idempotent if the mappers configuration list had not been sorted by name (in ascending order).
